Well my optimism that we'd turned a corner on the Gunnar-man peeing everywhere was premature, as he had a couple of incidents over the weekend. This is pretty distressing to us, and seems to indicate he is still somewhat distressed himself, and the fact that this is getting MrsBlue more and more (understandably) upset with him is not helping this at all. If this wasn't upsetting enough, this also has her talking about not wanting any more dogs after this, which is about the worst possible outcome I could imagine from all this, as the pooches are the apples of my eye.

No malicious intent, no intent to kill, no real motive, no homicide happening, a parents right to choose the course of care for their minor child, no guarantee that mainstream care will produce a better outcome, no homicide, no homicide, and did I mention no homicide?

I'm not a lawyer (and very obviously neither are you) but I can read.

From www.uslegal.com/negligent-homicide:

"(a) (1) A person commits negligent homicide if he or she negligently causes the death of another person, not constituting murder or manslaughter...

Negligent homicide is the killing of another person through gross negligence or without malice... It is characterized as a death caused by conduct that grossly deviated from ordinary care.

Not getting medical care for your child's treatable but potentially fatal condition sounds like it fits that definition exactly to me.
